Our workshops are designed to align with the California Standards for the Teaching Profession (CSTPs) by fostering strong educator-student relationships and promoting emotionally safe learning environments. By incorporating an understanding of attachment styles, our approach offers a more lasting impact than traditional programs, addressing both the emotional and academic needs of each student. Here’s how each workshop directly relates to the CSTPs:
CSTP 1: Engaging and Supporting All Students in Learning
Our workshops focus on building supportive relationships and using attachment theory to meet students’ emotional and academic needs, ensuring engagement and emotional safety.
Example: Teachers engage anxious or withdrawn students using attachment theory to foster classroom connections.
CSTP 2: Creating and Maintaining Effective Environments for Student Learning
Our workshops emphasize creating emotionally safe environments through understanding attachment styles and emotional regulation, promoting student success.
Example: Learn strategies to create a secure classroom that supports emotional well-being and reduces stress.
CSTP 3: Understanding and Organizing Subject Matter for Student Learning
While focused on emotional development, understanding attachment theory also helps in presenting subject matter in ways that align with students’ emotional and social needs.
Example: Teachers create a comfortable environment for students with attachment challenges to engage confidently in academic tasks.
CSTP 4: Planning Instruction and Designing Learning Experiences for All Students
Our workshops emphasize planning learning experiences that address students’ emotional needs, ensuring academic growth and social-emotional development.
Example: Teachers design lessons sensitive to emotional needs, ensuring all students feel supported in their learning journey.
CSTP 5: Assessing Students for Learning
Learn how to assess both academic and emotional/social needs, recognizing how attachment styles affect student behaviors and progress.
Example: Teachers assess both academic outcomes and emotional responses, adjusting strategies to support progress.
CSTP 6: Developing as a Professional Educator
Focus on deepening self-awareness, improving emotional regulation, and reflecting on how teachers’ attachment styles influence student interactions. This fosters professional growth and resilience.
Example: Teachers reflect on their emotional regulation and attachment styles, gaining tools for self-improvement and professional development.
